Do you really need a full electrical system in your van? Maybe an ALLPOWERS R2500 is enough!

A lot of folks have been asking if they really need a full electrical system. In Today’s video im going to share the differences …
People are really running out of pose ideas for these thumbnails.
With a custom build you can swap out individual components, if the station fails its basically scrap and you loose your full investment
What about wiring to the electrical panel
How much does this one weight? Would it make sense to have two smaller, less powerful, separate stations for different areas to eliminate running wires all over? Like, a larger one in the kitchen area for cooking devices and a smaller one near the "bedroom" for things like lights, fans, and charging devices?
Hilarious how fast China is improving battery tech and America is all like the best we got is gig work and live in a 400 ft ADU. Crazy times.
Great comparison Brad. Thanks for sharing
It doesn't look like you can recharge off your alternator. It's a no-go if you're just depending on the Sun or using a wall outlet.
How many solar panels are currently being destroyed across the US?
Including entire solar farms.
It’s a bad option in many locations.
How much higher does the hair go normally? 🤔😁 Continued GL with the content/channel!
Hi Brad! It was really nice to meet you Saturday 😀. You're a beautiful soul 😊!! Thanks for the sticker.
I am old enough to have lived in a van with zero electric at all, after I exited the Army. I worked and lived during the day, and went to sleep on my full size bed in my Chevy extended van at night. I would sometimes use these things called candles or oil lamps, to do this other thing we used to do, read books. I did get fancy once and borrowed an extension cord, a clip on light and a portable fan from a relative who I was visiting. I am just being tongue in cheek, I have already decided if I build out another van, then I am going to use a simple electrical build, a lithium battery, charge controller, panel(s), and inverter (Of course with proper fuses, wire, etc), I probably forgot something but, I wasn't prepared to give a lecture on a subject I came across on a random video recommended to me by Youtube..lol. The wife and I use very little electricity and according to the stats on our bill, we use 80% less than others in our service area. I am not a fan of the AIO devices because if one part fails on the device, you are out of luck, a single component is easier to diagnose and replace in my opinion.
Sorry to disagree with something you stated ….. One CAN (as I did), wire up outlets all over one's RV, Cargo trailer, etc…. and run those leads back to one point, where a Power station will be positioned, and "plug-in" all circuits to the Power station …. It has worked PERFECTLY for ALL my electrical needs throughout my 16' custom Cargo trailer !! Also solar & dc to dc charging of said power station …. I am NEVER without power !
My All Powers unit breaker popped and would not reset.
It took almost 3 months to get them to replace the unit.
Customer service to China was terrible!
You're still going to want a system set up in your van/cabin (etc). Ceiling vent, interior lights, etc. and have it plugged in to the power system. How do you set up a charging system for the stand-alone unit to have the vehicle charge while driving?
In my 36 foot skoolie I will be doing a mixture! With running outlets 12 volt and 120 volt outlets and lines, rooftop solar , shore power and 8000w generator with the primary power source being a Anker 767 powerhouse. Right now trying to decide the best way to transfer power sources, looking for something a little more clean tech than a big red ABC battery switch. Although yes it will be necessary for the charging of the Anker 767 when on shore power. Any suggestions?❤
I Ike the Jackery 3000watts because it’s portable. I just need to run my ac and microwave.
I think it all depends on where you live.
I live in a cold snowy area and to make it a week with no sun i use,
800w solar, 4-100ah batteries and a Bluetti 200p.
Bluetti runs all 120 devices, microwave, induction cook top ect.
Batteries run all 12v stuff, fridge/freezer, diesel heater, lights, fans and charging devices.
Oh and to charge the Bluetti.
Great comparison! Very helpful! Thank you!
Can this start up a 5kw diesel heater?
You are addressing system engineer; requirements analysis, and implementation. From a consumer perspective, a turn key integrated system has the appeal of simplicity until the requirements change. A system of subsystems has some benefits of future obsolescence, repair, redundancy, and expansion. Continuing a theme from your previous video, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcwbF9WuqF0&t=218s), we inevitably increase requirements and over specify. A 12 volt deep cycle, wire, fuses and a couple female cigarette plugs (sourced from Radio Shack and Sears Auto center) was once sufficient!
Brad, wish you would have visited us when you were in Arizona. We could have shown you how an all in one system runs our whole compound.
AC units, deep freezer, refrigerators, air fryer, Vita-mix, fish pond pumps, and much more. When we do our Ambulace or box truck build, we will be using an all in one unit from either Hysolis or Oupes.
id like to see you review the Optivolt Pulse solar panels that work in the shade and are 25x better than the run of the mill panels. thats what im planning to slap on my box truck!
Nice video
I agree with you Brad, you do NOT need a full system setup, I'm not a Full Timer per se, however I do have a MUCH smaller power station that runs my fridge quite well & I am looking to purchase another power station to run my tea kettle or even charge up my laptop.. my lights are battery operated and it is just enough for what I need early mornings or in the evenings.
Though I would love to have a full set up but.. I am working on it.. – Thanks for the input MUCH appreciated
I've been eating a lot of sweet potatoes lately too. They are so good. I usually just eat them plain from the air fryer. Since seeing your roast video, I want to get an Instapot. Take care!

I love your videos
I want a self built unit,if any component fails I can easily replace it and be back up with less down time and minimal cost instead of sending it out to be repaired or replaced!
I have a little Jackery. I like it but I would love to have a lil fridge. I will need solar for that luxury. My Jackery charges my basic stuff. My phone, fan, & a lil speaker. I’m in a suv.
Brad your review and comparison is explained very well. 👍⚡️💪
Question: Is this something they sent you free for review? 🤔 Did you buy it to review? It wasn't very clear.
Even though it costs around $2k, the amount of value you brought in this video is well beyond the product value. 👍⚡️💰
